I think I had better stop now I am getting a little carried away. I think if you were coming home from nursery in 83/84 I may be a little older than you. I am 31 but I hope you can remember some of these. Happy reminiscing :-)

Answer 3

I do remember those programmes but I must have watched them in the school holidays because I'm obviously a bit older than you. The dinner time telly I remember from being really little is The Flumps.

Answer 4

I can remember a programme called Pigeon Street that I used to watch in the early 80's along with Sesame Street, Rainbow, Play School, Postman Pat, etc.

Not to mention the late 80's with Ed the Duck and Gordan the Gopher!!!!!!

No one I talk to ever seems to remember Pigeon Street though - COO-COO!!!!!

Answer 5

I remember cockleshell bay, rainbow, lets pretend, i was about 5 or 6.

Answer 6

Yep, I remember them! Also Bertha, about a big purple factory machine, and Chocabloc, where a man would whizz around in a little cart inserting video cartridges into a machine that would play "educational films" ;)

I can't remember what time it was on but loved Playschool as well. My least favourite thing about it was Hamble the doll -- she had really short hair and, God, what a name!

Answer 7

I remember my children watching them.
I had Watch With Mother which included -
Bill & Ben
The Wooden Tops
Rag Tag & Bobtail
Tales from the River Bank

Answer 8

Were off to Button Moon, to visit Mr Spoon, Button Mooooooon, Button Moooooooon!!

Answer 9

I remember all those programmes because my cousin lived with us and he was an 80's child. Button moon and pigeon street were his faves!

Answer 10

Yeah there all my favorites...lol a few more were noughts and crosses,mysterious cities of gold, pigeon street,renta ghost, m.a.s.k and simon and the witch, johnny briggs and that one where the head teacher of a school only taught his kids and to pass his school inspection his kids had to pretend to be other pupils the list is endless thanks for the reminder....! nice question.
